FAQ
What should I do if merging large files fails?
- Check whether the presentation files included in the task are too large.
- If there are many files or the content is complex, try merging them in smaller batches.
- Close apps you do not need and try again to reduce device resource usage.
- If the files are stored in the cloud, confirm that your network connection is stable before starting the merge again.
Why does the formatting look inconsistent after merging?
- Check whether the source files use the same slide size.
- Check whether different files use different themes, fonts, or layouts.
- After the merge is complete, review important slides and adjust themes, animations, and layout as needed.
- Before your next merge, standardize the style settings of the source files first.
Why can't I find the Merge Documents entry?
- Make sure the file you opened is a presentation, not another file type.
- Go to More → All Services and look for Merge Documents.
- Confirm that you are signed in to your account.
- If the entry is still unavailable, check whether your account has an active membership and update the app to a newer version before trying again.
